A user linked this video on /crazyfuckingvideos; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySHIOYyJ95A (requires subtitles)

Media has completely distorted this story framing Isreali hooligans as the victim of being beaten up, while they were doing the beating. It is insane how blatant the lies have gotten. They even chanted "there are no schools in Gaza because all the children are dead"

She thwarted Bernie in 2016. These hollow words mean nothing.

ICJ so slow Wikipedia writes down the conclusion in advance.

UK Trump is slightly younger

The woman quoted by NBC on twitter literally states the video is of Israeli supporters beating up someone.

NBC and Reuters somehow spin this into Israelis being attacked.

This is absolute insanity.

I did not. The title is correct.

The person who recorded and posted this video stated the perpetrators were Israeli hooligans.

There were other instances where Israelis were beat up, this was not one of them.

Some of the group also appear to have "La Familia" logo on the backs of their shirt.

And yellow is the Maccabi color

Only for people who can't see sharp.

Thanks for sharing this!

And normal media does not? The propaganda storm from newspapers in favor of Israel is beyond obvious. It is easy to explain why boomers love Israel and zoomers do not. One of them watches CNN or Fox.

They were singing chants about genociding all Palestinians and Arabs during and after the match

Saw a brazen example yesterday about how social media is the fault of it all. It was an article like this one https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2024/11/07/10-democratic-thinkers-on-what-the-party-needs-right-now-00187993

What we’ve seen is that tens of millions have opted into a right-wing information bubble, largely online, that has grown to eclipse almost the entire traditional media infrastructure. Often, in that bubble, they’ve become the willing consumers of lies and outrage. Trump’s real misdeeds are whitewashed while audiences are encouraged to embrace cathartic rage against rotating groups of enemies — many of which seem to suspiciously mirror historically unpopular minorities. In this fractured information environment, clownish strongmen thrive, their meme-like public personas enrapturing otherwise disengaged voters — a trend we’ve seen across the globe, as social media increasingly displaces traditional media.

Democrats need to recognize that it is impossible to win votes by improving voters’ lives, when your opponent has a national rage machine it can toggle on or off at will. We will see the next iteration of this game soon enough, when the right switches to praising the precise economy they blasted for years, likely spiking economic satisfaction through the roof. This capacity — dominating media and social media, and its power to shape public opinion — has been the obsessive focus of the right for years. Democrats have almost completely ignored these questions in favor of wonky policy and kitchen-table economics. If the party continues to ignore this problem, it courts oblivion. Democrats must find a way to make headway in modern media, and wrest more control of the national information environment from Trump and his band of thugs.

My favorite line

Let’s start with where Democrats should NOT go. We should not blame Vice President Kamala Harris or her campaign.

Democrats called those Twitter users Russian trolls. They are now advocating to restrict social media so this cannot happen again.

Mexico recently elected a socialist woman. Europe and American political parties have collectively decided on the strategy of trying to win the neo nazi vote.

Holy cope

The US has been losing its global grip. Especially since the genocide in Gaza the entire global south has fled to align with China.

In the past the US had power to sanction countries such as Afghanistan to their doom. Now those countries have the option to align with China and Russia. The era of western dominance is not growing. It is weakening.

After 1 billion the billionaire wants 2 billion.

You can rest soundly knowing these people too will never be happy.

They were. You called them Russian trolls and ignored them.

Not supporting genocide

Thanks we will take it.

Now that you mention it, we have genocide nicknames for the Biden and Harris administration but not yet for Trump.

Any suggestions? Needs to be catchy that starts with a T or D

Either that or America wanted a progressive Democrat candidate. We will never know because the second never happens.

Biden can still execute him as official presidential order

Republicans can blame immigrants, LGBT, black people, brown people, women and much more.

All Democrats had to blame was Trump.

Democrats can never beat Republicans in the blame game. They must offer hope. They can never beat Republicans in threatening despair.

Tulip sounds awful. The only way democrats could lose from that is if they ran a truly horrific candidate themselves.

Anything notable from last year coming to mind?

Kamala did not lose because voters switched. Trump lost 3 million votes compared to 2020.

Kamala lost because even less people showed up for her. She was that upopular.

A week ago there were attacks on polio vaccination centers in Pakistan. World news.

Now Israel is bombing polio vaccination centers in Gaza but they commit so many war crimes it does not even get a full headline.

Unless they are Israeli or American.

From the river to the sea

Yossi Dagan, has purchased more than 500 rifles to arm emergency security teams, and is now working to further upgrade their equipment in preparation for a future war with Palestinians, Masar News reported on 5 November. Dagan purchased dozens of advanced sniper rifles after raising almost one million shekels ($270,000) from supporters...

They might be referring to two different purchases. One is in the hundreds, the other in dozens.

Yes I am ridiculing the DNC for once again losing because they put Republican candidate on their stage.

Progressives carry the campaign. They are the enthousiam. They recruit others. They are the mouth to mouth advertisement. They drive people to the polls.

Democrats do not need them though. They can win without.

There is nothing the Democrats can do other than move further right. Next time they need someone more racist than Trump. They definitely should never ever move left and stop supporting genocide.

You are right. I was listening to a popular left leaning Twitch streamer who said it and thought it was factual without properly checking. A quick search shows no definite result yet. I will correct it.

Edit: Turns out it was correct. But I have no idea whether the streamer fact checked it beforehand.

Oh no now democrats are using moral purity arguments. What happened to trashing those for the last year?

Maybe we need to move further right to appeal to all those sexist racist right wingers,. That will do it. No other reason democrats lost.
